The annual charge for interest on the bonded debt alone is $427,240. Yes indeed, this is a serious condition when the debt rises from $2,600,000 to $3,500,000 a year. - Nor is there any sign that the end is here or near. Rather is there evidence that the worst.is yet to come, ‘We suffer much loss because of our entire lack of any orderly and com- prehensive financial policy. 2 wild hurry from every .quarter .for as much as can be secured in the way of, appropriations. - The man or de- partment with the best power of in- fluencing gets first and most.

False Platform Pledges . Proféssor Fishei -devoted particular %gnuon to the democratic platform ges, “that thess cannot Ve taken at face value as long as the dontrol of the party remains unchang- ed. The'péople cannot trust democrats under present leadership to keep faitn, This is a serious charge; I mean it to Pe such. But see if I cannot justify ! Time would fail me:to list all ~f the cases in which democratic officials, m the wovernor-down to the mem- ber of the lower house, have violated definite platform promises, once the eredulity of the voter had carried them tely past election day. Take a few Ifustrations of this breach of faith. * Influence of the Governor Baldwin was .notoriously against Leeping“faith on the workmen’s com- pensation law, and 38 democrats in the house votd for it and 37 agatust The democratic platform also prom- ised the ratification of the income tax amendment to the federal constltution; for this, too, I labored on the drafting committee. Against keeping faith hese the governor's influence was thrown, and eight members of the house voted agalinst ratification. In the senate the democratic vote was five for the amendment and keeping faith and four against the amendment and keeping faith. Nor has there been any. change of heart in the democratic leaders. T 6:&‘.3“‘&‘.; the republican nominee for thay | elected” to benefit th Mr. Branche stated his belief that a candidate or any candidate on a party ticket for the office of state senator r{Should tell his pewple just what he stands for locally; for them in the past and what he hopes to do for them in the-future.: I bave been on the stump he said just a lttle in this campaign and have spoken from the same tform ' with ator.

I have been informed that the Democratic party field this fall with a candidate named for state senator. But, what he stands for locally or just what his views are on the live issues now before the 19th senatorfal district, I am state, for he has made no public ut- terances or declarations. So we are left to presume that he has no definite plans concerning legislation - favorable to the district. What He Stands For, « As a candidate for state sepator on the Progressive ticket, I want you to know, if you don’t already know, what I stand for here in New London county and why. In 1680 my family tree was planted in preston and, without a break, it has iived continuously in New London county to this day. As a ploughed its fertile lands and heiped to harvest its bountiful crops, as my ancestors had done for more than two hundred years before me. I have tooted the other fellow’s horn for forty years ‘and tonight I am going to toot my own just a wee Dit. For the past five years I have taken an active Interest in the affairs of this county and will enumerate a few of the progressive measures I have sup- parted with my voice and pen. When the question of securing the Thames River bridge at New London for a public highway I journeyed to Hartford and spoke in favor of the bill before the legislative committee and so alded New London county in getting this much needed highway improvement. I have worked for and believe in the need of reforms in our jafls and state. prisoms and in order that you may understand more fully the need of a change in methods now employed in conducting -these institu- tlons. Mr. Branche read a newspaper clip- ping which was a criticism of Wethers- and the Merlden reformatory, by the chaplain of the Cheshire state refor- matory. He went on to speak in conclusion as_follows: I have opposed with all my power and influence the divoreing of the Sound steamers from the N. Y., N. H. & H. R.

For the Agricultural 3 It is with no small degree of pride that I point to the establishing of the first farm bureau in the state of Con- necticut right here in New London county. Pages have been written about this great uplifting and unify- ing movement drawing in closer rela- tionship” the farmer, the laborer and the business man. I might talkk for hours and then not be able to ex- haust the subject. It is destined to be- come one of the greatest uplifting movements ever started In this state. The State Agricultural college is ask- ing for our assistance in this county in order that constructive legisiation favorable to the cause may be enacted at ‘the next legislature. 1 believe in every plank of the pro- gressive state platform, and who, may.

I want to say just one word to you progressives before closing, and that is- this—Stand square and firm on your.party pratform, turn neither to the right nor to the left and keep your eyes firmly fixed on 1916 and vietory. ‘ Mr. Branche was vigorously ap- plauded and then Chairman Robbins declared the rally closed and invited those present up to shake hands with the candidates, - | ‘ Ponfiul_co-.ii, | ¥ Congressman Kennedy. As Mr. Kennedy has had his chance - and has failed to make good he need not complain if the voters turn him down, as they now intend to do.

"If-the people of the state have noticed the candidate’s absence from the stump, they have held it rather in his favor than against him. Goodness knows enough are making speeches, and .little enougzh some of them are saying. As for the have drawn at least $15,000 for his two years in congress.

He is meeting with flattering recep- tions wherever he goes and the voters ar going to give him a rousing vote on November 8. one that will him in the state senate. The republicans of Tolland county have a chance this fall to bring the shrievalty back into the republican column by electing Fred O. inton of Mansfield, a man well qual- ifled by experience and training for the position.

Democracy, Fisher Type. One night, when he was feeling in a somewhat pessimistic mood—the legislature of 1913 then being in the closing days of its session—Professor Willard ' C. Fisher told the members of the Hartford Central Labor Union that his interest in the democratic party was waning and that unless the Jegislature should do certain things his interest would have waned alto- gether. Despite the professor's protestations of his democracy, it is beginning to be apparent to the people of the state taht the professor's waning has al- ready reached that promised stage of past tense—Hartford Post.

The Connecticut republicans have put up an unusually -strong-man for governor, one of the ablest and most ‘highly respected members of the su- perior court. As it will be several weeks before his retirement from the bench he has taken no part in the cai but good work is being done in his behalf.
